So far I have run all the tutorials for my new pilot and will have Cybernetics IV tomorrow so I can get some +4 Attributes for him. I want to use him as a Indy pilot to start bringing in ISK for my first pilot. Can someone give me a skill set I can use for this? Or if you have another suggestion for making ISK with this pilot that would be appreciated. Thanks!

It is plausible that in a month or two mining will be the most profitable profession in EVE, what with Burn Jita and Hulkageddon starting end of this month.
Might be worth training the alt as a Hulk pilot so you can start making big isk after the dust settles.

For what it is worth, my shadow follows me around almost everywhere I go. His job is to make my life easier.

In approximate order, he trained:

* Bestower (largest low skill hauler)
* Coercer (salvager, as Noctis didn't exist then)
* Hurricane (exploration = salvaging, hacking, and archeology)
* Orca (hauling, hisec mining booster)
* Hulk (there is little training difference between a Hulk and an Orca)
* Mackinaw (2 Mackinaws > 1 Mackinaw + Orca because of long ice harvester times)
* Charon (freighter)
* Crane (Blockade Runner = BR)
* Bustard (Deep Space Transport = DST)
* Rorqual (hauling, ore compression, mining booster)
* Ferox (gas harvesting)
* Noctis (salvaging, didn't exist earlier)
* Rhea (jump freighter)
* Rattlesnake (added mission DPS - he only has drones for offense)

He started down the path to an Amarr Harbinger (hence the Coercer) for salvaging, until I realized the Hurricane was superior for that (larger cargohold and faster). This was pre-Noctis existing too. I still use a Hurricane for exploration, as it has a decent amount of mid-slots compared to the Noctis.

He also does:
* Basic research and manufacturing (10 slots of each).
* PI (currently the only character I have that is still doing PI).
* Trade.

Thanks Tau! That was exactly what I was looking for. I already have the Hulk in my Evemon planner which will take about 45 days. But that time will change once I get the +4 implants.
